Comes in a full range of bias ply and radial sizes, this tire features a Dual- Compound configuration, derived from the experience on Roadtec Z8 Interact tires and focused on increasing wet performance and mileage.

New compounds feature high dispersion Silica with high performance synthetic polymer and the newest resins and compound agents.

Rear sizes adopt a Dual Compound solution where the center compound is always from 40 to 45mm wide (depending on the size) to fully cover the footprint area while riding straight and features a 50% content of Silica, specifically developed to optimize the mileage and stability, also at high speed, fully loaded with luggage and a passenger.

Shoulder compounds are 100% Silica (Full Silica) that guarantees an excellent chemical grip on wet surfaces and provides great confidence when riding.

Front tire is mono-compound with a high silica content (over 50%) and implements different types of new polymers and resins that provide improved handling and grip with a fast warm up.

Front Tourance Next implements an innovative new high stiffness structure for a more sport bike tire behavior.

Features the Metzeler Interact™ technology with three zones of variable tension belt layout, and is quite similar to the original Roadtec Z8 Interact.

New tire profiles have been developed along with the structure with the aim of improving the street and touring oriented behavior, wear regularity, mileage and comfort.

Strongly improves on wet behavior and 15% on mileage vs. the Tourance EXP
